Zubereitung von Almost Tortuga Rum Cake
- **Prepare the Cake Batter:** In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix ingredients according to package directions (excluding any frosting mix).
- **Combine Dry Ingredients:** On low speed, mix all dry ingredients until they resemble fine crumbs.
- **Store (Optional):** This dry mix can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
- **Make the Cake Batter:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a large bundt pan.
- **Prepare the Pan:** Sprinkle chopped walnuts evenly on the bottom of the prepared bundt pan.
- **Combine Wet and Dry:** In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix, pudding mix, milk, eggs, rum, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides halfway through. The batter should be very smooth.
- **Bake:** Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when gently touched.
- **Cool:** Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Prepare the Rum Glaze:** While the cake cools, prepare the glaze. Combine butter, water, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- **Make the Glaze:** Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer until the sugar is dissolved and the syrup thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the rum.
- **Glaze the Cake:** Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the rum glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to soak in. Repeat until all the glaze is used.
- **Serve:** Let the cake cool completely before serving. This cake is delicate once inverted, so handle with care. Best served the next day!
